摘要

主要研究和改进多因子进化算法(Multi-Factor Evolutionary Algorithm

MFEA)，使用最大均值差异(Maximum Mean Discrepancy

MMD)方法优化的后代种群的混合概率分布作为算法的度量准则。MFEA-MMD在MFEA-II算法的随机分配概率(Random Mating Probability

RMP) 矩阵的基础上改进，最大程度避免多因子进化算法最常见的负迁移的影响，改进后的算法收敛速度比MFEA-II更快，算法运算速率比MFEA-II高出29%，任务间知识迁移程度比MFEA-II高出35%。

Abstract

The multi-factor evolutionary algorithm (MFEA) is mainly studied and improved. The mixed probability distribution of the offspring population optimized by the maximum mean difference method (MMD) is used as the metric criterion of the algorithm. MFEA-MMD is improved on the basis of the Random Mating Probability matrix (RMP) of MFEA-II algorithm to avoid the influence of negative transfer most common in multi-factor evolutionary algorithms to the greatest extent. The convergence rate of the MFEA-MMD is faster than that of MFEA-II. The operation speed of the algorithm is 29% higher than that of MFEA-II

and the degree of knowledge transfer between tasks is 35% higher than that of MFEA-II.
